What are the levels of meteorological stations?

Weather stations include national weather stations, regional weather stations, provincial weather stations and prefecture (city) level weather stations.

1. National Meteorological Observatory: The National Meteorological Observatory refers to the National Meteorological Center and its sub-centers, the National Climate Center and its sub-centers, the National Space Weather Early Warning Center and its sub-centers, the National Emergency Early Warning Information Publishing Center, the National Meteorological Information Center and the National Meteorological Service Backup Center.

2. Regional meteorological stations: Regional meteorological stations refer to regional weather early warning centers and sub-centers, regional climate centers and sub-centers, and regional space weather early warning centers and sub-centers.

3. Provincial Meteorological Observatory: Provincial Meteorological Observatory refers to the meteorological offices (bureaus) established by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

4. Ground (city) meteorological station: Ground (city) meteorological station refers to ground (city) meteorological bureau and station.

Advantages of establishing weather stations:

1. Meteorological stations can provide accurate meteorological services: by monitoring local meteorological elements, such as temperature, humidity, wind direction and wind speed, they can provide fine meteorological services for agricultural production. These data can help agricultural producers understand the weather conditions and make more scientific agricultural production plans.

2. The establishment of meteorological stations is helpful to guide the drought and disaster prevention in the agricultural sector: by analyzing meteorological data, the agricultural sector can know the occurrence probability of natural disasters such as droughts and floods in time, so as to take corresponding measures to prevent and respond. This will help to reduce the impact of natural disasters on agricultural production, protect the ecological environment and realize the sustainable development of agricultural production.

3. Meteorological stations can also help guide the prevention and control of agricultural pests: by monitoring meteorological data, we can understand the breeding and activity laws of pests and provide scientific basis for farmers to prevent and control pests. This will help to ensure the safe and healthy growth of crops and improve the quality and output of agricultural products.
